Sustainable
design is the
art of designing physical objects, the built environment and services
to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability.
The aim of sustainable
design is to produce places, products and services in a way that reduces
the use of non-renewable resources, minimizes environmental impact, and
relates people with the natural environment.
Sustainable
architecture is the design of sustainable
buildings. Sustainable architecture attempts to reduce the collective
environmental impacts during the production of building components, during
the construction process, as well as during the lifecycle of the building.

Garrison Architects will provide design leadership in certifying
your building at LEED Silver, Gold or Platinum levels as you desire.
LEED is a third-party
certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design,
construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives
building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate
and measurable impact on their buildings' performance.
LEED promotes a whole-building
approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas
of human and environmental health:
Sustainable site development,
Water savings,
Energy Efficiency &
Alternative Sources,
Materials selection and Reuse
Indoor environmental quality.
